The Fog of Film

Are you a skinny white guy? Want to be on film? A group shooting a film in Albany about the final days of World War II will hold a casting call on Sat., Aug. 9.

The filmmakers are searching for white men between the ages of 18 and 30 who wear a 14 to 15 1/2 shirt size, have a 32 inch to 34 inch waist, are no more than 6’2″ and weigh from 145 to 190 pounds.

The movie, called “Orion in Midsummer,” is being made by Tokyo-based production company Destiny Inc. and Marcom Visual Creation out of New York City. Some scenes will be shot aboard the USS Slater from Aug. 17 through Aug. 29. Other portions of the film will be shot in Japan
and at other locations.

The script is about the crews of a Japanese submarine and an American destroyer who engage in battle and the leaders of those units who come to understand each other.

The casting call will be at the Holiday Inn Express, 300 Broadway, Albany at 1 p.m. on Saturday.
